or even search Elimination Communication on BB - there's a few of us who do it and the most recent thread on it gives you a good idea of what it's about ALso known as Natural Infant Hygiene. Your DH's abuela probably used it with her kids, I know mine did

Thanks Jen You seem to be the only one who answers me here.
I've been ok, struggling, but really pushing myself to be better - Hope your ok and how's everything going with little miss?

Aww, LJ - I feel like I'm hitting and running in here all the time, no time for decent responses, that's why my quick notes appear on FB instead, where it's not so rude to hit and run!!
Wouldn't ya know it, young master is asking for more food and I have to go again, before he wakes his sister up

Hi Jen, I also make sure Tara has pears as well to make sure no constipation occurs although so far she hasn't had any problems. As for the rolling.... ahhhh she will be on the move very soon.... Tara only rolls one way, to the left, she has started to work out how to get from her tummy to back but not yet mastered it. But I don't think it will take long which means rolling to the left all the time, which means able to move around. I think DH will be baby proofing the house this weekend.

She has even tried rolling over in the cot in her sleep, and has woken herself up grrr. So I have had to resort to using the 'safe sleeper' which we used when we first put her in the cot to stop her rolling. Although on the cooler nights she sleeps in a sleeping bag, which restricts her ability to get her legs over so that helps is some way as well.

Hope you are all doing well, it is so interesting to hear how everyone is developing..

Lj were good, its all so interesting & frustrating & hard for us all, dont feel like your alone its a very demanding job being a mummy.

Hi all

Just dropping in to let you know that baby proofing the house has begun... including the installation of barrier gates. Why, you may ask?? Well, Tara has decided that she is getting the hang of how moving is going to be accomplished so we think in the near future she will be on the move, albeit slowly at first but wanted to be prepared.

Apart from now attempting to roll from her tummy to her back (after she has rolled to her tummy in the first place) and only to the left, means that once she gets the hang of that then rolling will commence in earnest. Plus the new trick, if you are on your tummy and can't roll anywhere why not pull you legs up under you. Freak... once she gets some strength in her arms liftoff will occur of the crawling variety.

Also solids are going really well here, now on 2 solid feeds a day (along with her usual bottles) and any new flavour offered are being taken without drama. Fingers crossed she stays a NON fussy eater.
